They were sparse until late 80s when ITV got the contract, then they seemed to show one a week but were not allowed to show any until a month or so into the season. The later 80s ones were all Sunday bar Liverpool v Arsenal the 1989 title game from what I remember.Yep. BBC was Friday nights and ITV Sunday afternoons IIRC
City guaranteed refunds if listed yesterday and they came flooding on in the last 2 days. My block from 0 to 12.Tickets are still selling on the Face Value pages so If you don’t want City to charge fans about £70, there’s still a decent chance you will get your money back (1/19th of season card).
True mate. Am I right in thinking that the deadline has now passed or can we expect loads more returns from season card holders?City guaranteed refunds if listed yesterday and they came flooding on in the last 2 days. My block from 0 to 12.
Think the Villa home game was 89/90. 2-0 defeat but weirdly I think only shown on Granada and Central rather than across the whole ITV network. The return fixture as you say was on the whole network.They were sparse until late 80s when ITV got the contract, then they seemed to show one a week but were not allowed to show any until a month or so into the season.

City were on in the late 80s on Sunday in Div 2, the game v Villa in 87/88 when Morley got sent off for an elbow. Pretty sure that was ITV, also sure we had a very poor record of games live on TV only the Villa win. Even when on Sky we took ages to win one. Can't remember any until Ipswich when Lomas scored in 1997.
Yep who could forget that Blackburn game. The villa match I was thinking of was actually Morley's debut on a Sat in 88 and it was indeed the 89 one on telly at home.Think the Villa home game was 89/90. 2-0 defeat but weirdly I think only shown on Granada and Central rather than across the whole ITV network.

We had that famous 3-2 win at Blackburn on Easter Monday 1995 which was live on Sky
Didn’t we lose a couple at Goodison too?They were sparse until late 80s when ITV got the contract, then they seemed to show one a week but were not allowed to show any until a month or so into the season.

We lost 2-0 there on a Sunday a couple of months after Kendall had left to manage Everton.Didn’t we lose a couple at Goodison too?
Beagrie summersault - think that was the 2nd game in two seasons on TV there, the first was the 0-0 the season before when Kendal had just taken over. He brought Megson back into the team who made an 8 yard sideways pass into touch as his first action without a player near. That is the only thing I remember from the game.We lost 2-0 there on a Sunday a couple of months after Kendall had left to manage Everton.
